As a part of Habitat for Humanity Philippines' (HFHP) Online Champions, we are to share, influence and of course volunteer to the activities of HFHP. December 6 is the International Volunteers' Day a perfect day to reignite the spirit of volunteerism, camaraderie and leadership in nation building but due Typhoon Ruby which hits Visayas and parts of Luzon the activity was cancelled. But it didn't stop the time to share the spirit of Christmas to Habitat’s communities that held yesterday December 13.
At exactly 9AM a small program started at Bistekville 1, Payatas, Quezon City, one of HFHP's recipient village that houses teachers and homeless families. Together with the HFHP Managing Director and CEO Charlie Ayco and with celebrity ambassador of HFHP Alden Richards, the activity of making Christmas decor like "parol" made of recycled materials like straws were done, joined and volunteered by the online champions and HFHP home partners.
"Volunteerism not only change the life of the one you are helping but also the life you are living for. Life it is more meaningful if you are helping and volunteering in your small little way" Ayco said.
It is indeed a fun and meaningful activity shared with everybody with smile on their faces. They can celebrate Christmas at their our home with "parol" and memories of making it. Just like me, I gave the one that I made to one of Bistekville residence and left me with a hug and most sincerest smile that I will treasure for life.
Keep on sharing and giving, since this is the true meaning of Christmas right? Advance Merry Christmas everyone :).
